This is a statement that you may see when you go to your drop zone for your jump. Statistically skydiving is a safe sport, the safety precautions taken by both the drop zones and instructors are probably much higher than those you take when you get behind the wheel of your car! So don’t let this put you off – you are after all looking at doing an extreme activity it is the danger that has attracted you to this website!
